Barcelona has reinstated Marc-Andre ter Stegen as team captain following a dispute over a medical document the club requested him to sign. The conflict led to Ter Stegen being stripped of the captaincy, which the club later reversed after he agreed to sign the authorization. Barcelona president Joan Laporta personally visited Ter Stegen to discuss the matter, resulting in a conciliatory agreement and the closure of the disciplinary case. Ter Stegen expressed willingness to collaborate and resolve the issue, emphasizing the importance of moving forward. This resolution also paved the way for the registration of new signing Joan Garcia, with LaLiga's medical commission expected to issue its report imminently. Ter Stegen is scheduled to speak as captain at the upcoming Joan Gamper Trophy, where both he and Joan Garcia will wear the number one jersey. Laporta confirmed that the club is also working on registering other players, including Rashford, with some flexibility on timing. The episode drew attention in the media, with some characterizing the club's initial actions as mobbing, but the situation has since been resolved through dialogue and cooperation.
